Batman Animated

by Paul Dini, Chip Kidd

This is a great book for fans of all of the recent versions of Batman the Animated Series (even a little bit of Batman Beyond). The book is mostly filled with artwork, but it does have some good behind the scenes information about the show.

BATMAN RE-ANIMATED

If you love the show, you'll love this book. A must have for Batman collectors. Countless sketches, stills and artwork crowd this gorgeous documentary of the awesome animated series. By far the best incarnatioin of the Dark Knight to ever be concieved, Batman The Animated series has been a pioneering force in the world of animation. This book explains and illustrates why. The artists get it. Dini's uniques vision made it to the small screen relatively undilluted from the interference of too many people. This wonderfully designed book shows the series development and maintenance throughout its many makeovers. It includes many never before seen sketches and ideas that didn't make it to the shows final film noir look. A smart purchase.
